About this listen
Bloomsbury presents The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu, read by Daniel York Loh.
Read the award-winning, critically acclaimed, multi-million-copy-selling science-fiction phenomenon – soon to be a Netflix Original Series from the creators of Game of Thrones.
Imagine the universe as a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, stealth is survival – any civilisation that reveals its location is prey.
Earth has. Now the predators are coming.
Crossing light years, the Trisolarians will reach Earth in four centuries' time. But the sophons, their extra-dimensional agents and saboteurs, are already here. Only the individual human mind remains immune to their influence.
This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a last-ditch defence that grants four individuals almost absolute power to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from human and alien alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown.
Luo Ji, an unambitious Chinese astronomer, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he's the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
Praise for The Three-Body Problem:

Gradual Beginning, Explosive Finale
I am writing this review after completing the trilogy. The character development of Luo Ji was remarkable, and Wade proved to be an exceptionally formidable figure.

Pure science fiction
Enjoyed thoroughly. Can’t wait to read the 3rd book now. The TV series will have it’s own adaptations of course, but reading the book is definitely worth it for many reasons.

Keeps you hooked up
The three body problem TV show introduced me to this amazing story. It's so much more unconventional than the sci-fi we are used to see. The twist in the plots were captivating enough for me to literally fall down as I was walking while listening to this audio book. Extremely exist for the 3rd book Death's End!

Brilliant!
Amazing scifi…nothing from the western fiction world comes close.must read.
The most important part of civilisational warfare is to be understood by the other side. Liu creates an immersive tale of intergalactic relationships and strategies and makes it clear to us how love transcends cultures

A good continuation, very smart and great ending (despite feeling slow at times)
Definitely very intelligent, and a worthy continuation of the first part. Cixin liu is a master of making science fiction implementation feel like part of every day lives with too much ease. And weaves personal aspects and emotions of people into the story even better.
The only drawback is that this one does start to feel it’s length in the middle, slow and monotonous. But hang in there and the ending makes up for it (some aspects do look like a bit exaggerated unlike the first one though)
Will definitely read the third one too.
